about

24 hours of suspended guitar clouds recorded over three nights, sunset to sunrise, in summer 2017 and released one half hour at a time every week in 2018 with writing, video, and a hotline.

Each piece is randomly assigned the following attributes:
-Key
-Day / night
-Mode / scale
-Location - beach, city, forest, mountain, portico, castle, island, prairie
-Tense - memory, dream, desire, present

And titled accordingly. Listen close and you can hear the waves, the wind, the fog rolling in.

Life and work keeps happening forever. This is mine as it is.
